Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Houston Street (Dallas), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Trinity River ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You nominated the article MUD trees for deletion, but the votes were rigged by MUD owners who listed their MUD on page, as you can see on their forum here: http://www.topmudsites.com/forums/tavern-blue-hand/5287-defense-all-muds-our-genres-noteworthiness-being-questioned-16.html

The articles suggested as reliable sources provide very little material which can be used to expand the article. Has the subject really been addressed directly in detail? For businesses and within the telecommunications and technology sectors developments may occur rapidly so those old article may not be reliable now. Does it still have 100,000 subscribers in South Australia? Are acquisitions in 2003 or earlier really remarkable? Details of Chariots VoIP service provider aren't significant. Are the key people mentioned in those articles still in those positions? We need reliable sources that can verify current information about the company. Please note that significant coverage in reliable sources is not a guarantee. Lets try to imagine the lead for an expanded article. What would you write in it to explain why the topic is notable? - Shiftchange ( talk) 01:52, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Pburka. You don't know me but I just wanted to say thank you for this comment you made at AN/EW regarding 155blue's edit warring report against me (for edits on my own talk page). Believe it or not, she also reported my supposed edit warring at the vandalism noticeboard, which of course was quickly dumped. She has apparently been educated several times about what vandalism is, but she continues to falsely accuse (and report) other editors of it. And she ignored me when I educated her about WP:3RR and WP:NOT3RR. I see that she also issued you a bogus warning just above this thread (without a signature, yet again). She doesn't know the difference between WP:PROD and WP:AFD, which doesn't surprise me because she warned me about moving a "warning" - on my own talk page, no less - that was actually a template. The most concerning issue, though, is that she only has 300 or so edits - most of them in the past four months - and has shown a pattern of of rashly issuing warnings to, and filing reports at various noticeboards about, editors. Even very experienced ones, like yourself. This pattern of hers seems to indicate that she prefers to go straight to noticeboards instead of having proper discussions with editors first, even though some of the editors are vastly more experienced than her and the allegations are flawed. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the very on-point comment you made. -- 76.189.109.155 ( talk) 07:03, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

hello there, thank you for your message. The reason why I redirected the NY Ritz to the St. Moritz is because they are one and the same building.

Your edit to Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient completely messed up the formatting of the part that you edited. It is really important when making this kind of change to proof-read the effect, and make sure that you are actually achieving what you mean to achieve. Preferably you should do this on a preview, rather than only checking after saving, so that you never post a wrong version, but one way or another it is essential to check.

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of WP:PBY.
I am developing software that analyses data in Wikipedia articles. My edits to Arthur Edward Blanchette were as a result of that software highlighting the page as containing conflicting information. ie born 1921 or 1922 but solely in the 1921 category.
At the top of WP:PBY it says that it is a guideline, best treated with common sense, occasional exceptions may apply. The section in question is regarded as ambiguous, see the talk page. The category you insist on keeping could be wrong ie why choose 1921 not 1922?
I am still of the opinion that the Arthur Edward Blanchette article is incorrectly categorised and I am saying this as someone who has spent the last six weeks studying the formats of biographical articles. However, I have a huge list of articles to correct so I will decline from engaging into any further edits on Mr Blanchette. Periglio ( talk) 18:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Sir,
I saw you removed the section of Case McCoy's tweets regarding the Michael Sam kissing incident.
You asked for more citations regarding the tweet.
http://fansided.com/2014/05/12/dale-hansen-weighs-michael-sam-takes-great-shot-case-mccoy-texas-longhorns-video/#!MMzAE The above article has Dallas sports anchors addressing the situation.
http://www.wfaa.com/sports/Hansen-Unplugged--258847821.html
Your statement that this is not a story is belied by the numerous reports on it. I could find more links if you would like. You say the tweet was ambiguous but these numerous respectable sports news sites respectfully disagree. Matching his tweet to the timing of the "kiss" leaves no other conclusion. Also, every person who responded to Mr. McCoy's tweet knew exactly to what he was addressing.
Can we add this to the biography?
Controversy Case McCoy issued a tweet following the draft of Michael Sam that many journalists considered a negative reaction to televising Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend on live television. At the moment of the televised kissing McCoy tweeted "ESPN...You serious right now?". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.231.249.141 ( talk) 19:55, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear Pburka, Thanks for your remarks about the PD-tagging of the image of your great-aunt Ellen Burka. I do however think that the image is PD. Dutch copyright rules apply (the photo was made in the Netherlands in or before 1943), and as this is a photo by an anonymous photographer and made >70 years ago, this photo is clearly PD (see also Wikisource Auteurswet art. 38.1). I will give more information about the case (also about the copyright of the period of WWII in NL) on the Discussion page on Commons. A related question: there are many pictures (and a Polygoon filmreel) of the IJsrevue 1948, and Ellen Burka might be in.

As a general rule, because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material. Where the ref is in the body of the text, I don't see a need -- especially where the subject is not a living person. I don't think the NW article required citations in the lede, as they were clearly in the body, and agree with the editor who removed your c-needed tag. -- Epeefleche ( talk) 01:45, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Spartaz Humbug! 23:28, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps my text was too deterministic, there is no hard a fast rule, but it is in generally bad form to translate an official name if you can avoid it, if you do translate, translation should be in parenthesis, or you might translate and the give original name in parenthesis, I can agree to both styles. However translation of official names can often render a name unrecognizable, or simply odd. Albert Einstein is never rendered in Spanish as Alberto Einstein, the record label Deutsche Grammophon would not be recognizable if refereed to as German Records. Before editing the style entry I came across an entry on an article on Health Information Technology referring to the "German Hospital and the Hospital Italiano" in the same sentence, why not the "German Hospital and the Italian Hospital", best in this case was "Hospital Aleman and Hospital Italiano". If you search for Hospital Aleman you will go straight to the right page, if you search German Hospital, you will get a list of a multitude of hospitals. There are cases where translated names take on their own standing, such as the People's National Congress, this is particularly true of names which are officially written in another script. Yet as a general rule, avoiding translation is a good policy. The Argentine newspaper La Nacion, would never be translated to The Nation, nor would you ever list The New York Times as El Tiempo de Nueva York, or even El Times de Nueva York in Spanish Wikipedia. In an extreme case some people think that the country Colombia should be translated as Columbia, though most people see this a a spelling mistake. On the other hand we name Deutschland as Germany all the time and think nothing of it.
Would you accept then an edit that was more open? I do think this issue of name translation is important, and its a often a problem for me when I am reading both English and Spanish
this was may original edit:
Official names (of companies, organizations, or places) should not be altered. (St Thomas' Hospital should therefore not be rendered as St Thomas's Hospital, even for consistency.) Official names should not be translated (Hospital Aleman, of Buenos Aires, Argentina, should therefore not be rendered as German Hospital.) Maboitiz ( talk) 17:09, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for the feedback on my edit to The Standard Highline. I was not attempting to be promotional in mentioning DeSimone. They were the structural engineer on the project and it has won many awards. I have also found an outside source to attest to this: http://www.aia.org/practicing/awards/2012/architecture/thestandard/index.htm
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by GSheaNY ( talk • contribs) 19:53, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. I work for a PR Firm that works with DeSimone. They did not have a Wikipedia presence (as most other large engineering firms do) despite working on some of the most significant new structures in the world so I wanted to create a page for them. DeSimone is mentioned in numerous wikipedia pages, however there was no link to their won page as one had not been created. I purposely tried to not be promotional, only stating facts that could be sourced to independent sources. I am confused how adding the fact that DeSimone served as structural engineer on a project is promotional as it is extremely relevant to the structures discussed. Can you please provide some clarity on this? The DeSimone draft page i worked on is all sourced to outside sources and is purposefully not promotional. It also appears to be inline with other structual engineering firms Wikipedia pages. Can you provide some clarity on this...it is my first time editing or creating a wikipedia page!?!

The articles suggested as reliable sources provide very little material which can be used to expand the article. Has the subject really been addressed directly in detail? For businesses and within the telecommunications and technology sectors developments may occur rapidly so those old article may not be reliable now. Does it still have 100,000 subscribers in South Australia? Are acquisitions in 2003 or earlier really remarkable? Details of Chariots VoIP service provider aren't significant. Are the key people mentioned in those articles still in those positions? We need reliable sources that can verify current information about the company. Please note that significant coverage in reliable sources is not a guarantee. Lets try to imagine the lead for an expanded article. What would you write in it to explain why the topic is notable? - Shiftchange ( talk) 01:52, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Pburka. You don't know me but I just wanted to say thank you for this comment you made at AN/EW regarding 155blue's edit warring report against me (for edits on my own talk page). Believe it or not, she also reported my supposed edit warring at the vandalism noticeboard, which of course was quickly dumped. She has apparently been educated several times about what vandalism is, but she continues to falsely accuse (and report) other editors of it. And she ignored me when I educated her about WP:3RR and WP:NOT3RR. I see that she also issued you a bogus warning just above this thread (without a signature, yet again). She doesn't know the difference between WP:PROD and WP:AFD, which doesn't surprise me because she warned me about moving a "warning" - on my own talk page, no less - that was actually a template. The most concerning issue, though, is that she only has 300 or so edits - most of them in the past four months - and has shown a pattern of of rashly issuing warnings to, and filing reports at various noticeboards about, editors. Even very experienced ones, like yourself. This pattern of hers seems to indicate that she prefers to go straight to noticeboards instead of having proper discussions with editors first, even though some of the editors are vastly more experienced than her and the allegations are flawed. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the very on-point comment you made. -- 76.189.109.155 ( talk) 07:03, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of WP:PBY.
I am developing software that analyses data in Wikipedia articles. My edits to Arthur Edward Blanchette were as a result of that software highlighting the page as containing conflicting information. ie born 1921 or 1922 but solely in the 1921 category.
At the top of WP:PBY it says that it is a guideline, best treated with common sense, occasional exceptions may apply. The section in question is regarded as ambiguous, see the talk page. The category you insist on keeping could be wrong ie why choose 1921 not 1922?
I am still of the opinion that the Arthur Edward Blanchette article is incorrectly categorised and I am saying this as someone who has spent the last six weeks studying the formats of biographical articles. However, I have a huge list of articles to correct so I will decline from engaging into any further edits on Mr Blanchette. Periglio ( talk) 18:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Sir,
I saw you removed the section of Case McCoy's tweets regarding the Michael Sam kissing incident.
You asked for more citations regarding the tweet.
http://fansided.com/2014/05/12/dale-hansen-weighs-michael-sam-takes-great-shot-case-mccoy-texas-longhorns-video/#!MMzAE The above article has Dallas sports anchors addressing the situation.
http://www.wfaa.com/sports/Hansen-Unplugged--258847821.html
Your statement that this is not a story is belied by the numerous reports on it. I could find more links if you would like. You say the tweet was ambiguous but these numerous respectable sports news sites respectfully disagree. Matching his tweet to the timing of the "kiss" leaves no other conclusion. Also, every person who responded to Mr. McCoy's tweet knew exactly to what he was addressing.
Can we add this to the biography?
Controversy Case McCoy issued a tweet following the draft of Michael Sam that many journalists considered a negative reaction to televising Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend on live television.

Dutch copyright rules apply (the photo was made in the Netherlands in or before 1943), and as this is a photo by an anonymous photographer and made >70 years ago, this photo is clearly PD (see also Wikisource Auteurswet art. 38.1). I will give more information about the case (also about the copyright of the period of WWII in NL) on the Discussion page on Commons. A related question: there are many pictures (and a Polygoon filmreel) of the IJsrevue 1948, and Ellen Burka might be in.

How to pick up more women... |
Hello to the members of WikiProject Women writers! Victuallers and I have developed a proposal for a talk to be presented at Wikimania 2015. It's titled, How to pick up more women -- as in more women editors and more women's biographies. The proposal review process has begun and there's no guarantee that this proposal will be accepted. That's where you come in. Please review our proposal and give us feedback. Ultimately, we hope you add your name to the signup at the bottom of the proposal which signifies you're interested in the talk (it does not signify you'll be attending the event). Thank you!

Hi. Please see c:User talk:Pburka#File:EllenBurka1943.JPG and User talk:Pburka/Archive 2#Ellen Burka. Can you please, please, please take a look at that & answer? Thanks! Much appreciated. With regards, Trijnstel talk 00:37, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pommes Frites, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Backpacking. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

That didn't go very well, sorry about that. I'll have to pick my questions more carefully next time. - Dank ( push to talk) 14:31, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Given your recent contribution to the discussion regarding James Bond, I'm letting you know about a new discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Titles § Italics for series titles seeking clarification of the MOS to avoid further confusion. Please feel free to comment there. — sroc 💬 19:43, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
As a general rule, because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material. Where the ref is in the body of the text, I don't see a need -- especially where the subject is not a living person. I don't think the NW article required citations in the lede, as they were clearly in the body, and agree with the editor who removed your c-needed tag. -- Epeefleche ( talk) 01:45, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

How an article can be merged int a redirect? I'm sorry I didn't understand the idea so I removed your template. If you are sure, please return it, but maybe with an explanation? Xx236 ( talk) 08:59, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I'm reaching out to see if you might have time to review edits I'm proposing to the entry on the writer Wednesday Martin. I'm suggesting the changes on behalf of Martin, so I don't want to make any edits myself. I noticed you're a member of WP:WMNWRITE, so I thought you might be interested in helping. Another editor and I have spent the last several months improving the body of the article, and now the focus is on cleaning up the introduction and infobox. The editor who was previously reviewing my drafts is a bit busy at the moment--would you be able to look over my latest Talk page message and let me know what you think? I also welcome any feedback you have on the rest of the article. Thanks! Heatherer ( talk) 13:40, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jessica Sweet is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jessica Sweet until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Spartaz Humbug! 23:28, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps my text was too deterministic, there is no hard a fast rule, but it is in generally bad form to translate an official name if you can avoid it, if you do translate, translation should be in parenthesis, or you might translate and the give original name in parenthesis, I can agree to both styles. However translation of official names can often render a name unrecognizable, or simply odd. Albert Einstein is never rendered in Spanish as Alberto Einstein, the record label Deutsche Grammophon would not be recognizable if refereed to as German Records. Before editing the style entry I came across an entry on an article on Health Information Technology referring to the "German Hospital and the Hospital Italiano" in the same sentence, why not the "German Hospital and the Italian Hospital", best in this case was "Hospital Aleman and Hospital Italiano". If you search for Hospital Aleman you will go straight to the right page, if you search German Hospital, you will get a list of a multitude of hospitals. There are cases where translated names take on their own standing, such as the People's National Congress, this is particularly true of names which are officially written in another script. Yet as a general rule, avoiding translation is a good policy. The Argentine newspaper La Nacion, would never be translated to The Nation, nor would you ever list The New York Times as El Tiempo de Nueva York, or even El Times de Nueva York in Spanish Wikipedia. In an extreme case some people think that the country Colombia should be translated as Columbia, though most people see this a a spelling mistake. On the other hand we name Deutschland as Germany all the time and think nothing of it.
Would you accept then an edit that was more open? I do think this issue of name translation is important, and its a often a problem for me when I am reading both English and Spanish
this was may original edit:
Official names (of companies, organizations, or places) should not be altered. (St Thomas' Hospital should therefore not be rendered as St Thomas's Hospital, even for consistency.) Official names should not be translated (Hospital Aleman, of Buenos Aires, Argentina, should therefore not be rendered as German Hospital.) Maboitiz ( talk) 17:09, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for the feedback on my edit to The Standard Highline. I was not attempting to be promotional in mentioning DeSimone. They were the structural engineer on the project and it has won many awards. I have also found an outside source to attest to this: http://www.aia.org/practicing/awards/2012/architecture/thestandard/index.htm
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by GSheaNY ( talk • contribs) 19:53, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. I work for a PR Firm that works with DeSimone. They did not have a Wikipedia presence (as most other large engineering firms do) despite working on some of the most significant new structures in the world so I wanted to create a page for them. DeSimone is mentioned in numerous wikipedia pages, however there was no link to their won page as one had not been created. I purposely tried to not be promotional, only stating facts that could be sourced to independent sources. I am confused how adding the fact that DeSimone served as structural engineer on a project is promotional as it is extremely relevant to the structures discussed. Can you please provide some clarity on this? The DeSimone draft page i worked on is all sourced to outside sources and is purposefully not promotional. It also appears to be inline with other structual engineering firms Wikipedia pages. Can you provide some clarity on this...it is my first time editing or creating a wikipedia page!?!
